Webcam drivers for acer aspire 1410 notebook (11.6")  

I think I've already tried the uninstall/reinstall, but I guess it's worth another run...

Okay, please post back your results;

Have you attempted Skype again after updating the Flash Player like derekimo suggested?

no go...reinstalled, but with the same webcam result, as attached :/

Clean Install Windows 7 or Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 would my last suggestions, but transfer any important documents onto a external medium, such as a USB flash drive or a external hard-drive.

Unless anyone else has any other suggestions?

Thank you, sir...I'll wait a few more hours to see if anyone has further ideas, then I'll head to the store : )

Do have any other webcam software installed?

Can you post a screenshot of your startup tab in msconfig.

Method three of this tutorial will show you how to get there,

Startup Programs - Change

I used the control panel method instructions and had to make 3 screen shots to show all the components. There is no other webcam software installed, though ACER Videoconferencing is shown...FWIW.

You have a lot of things starting up when windows starts.

Uncheck the video conferencing item, click apply, ok your way out and restart when asked.

Then see if your skype will work.

I think you may solved the problem, the error message still state that the webcam may be used by another program, and the Acer Video Conferencing could be it.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news...no-go

I can go, though, to lunch, before I start gnawing on this desk...

Appreciate all the effort...
